Forgive and forget

Yesterday, I saw that JC’s ex girlfriend was calling AGAIN for the nth time last night, I decided it was time to talk to her, woman to woman. I needed some respect, because this is OUR relationship, and I don’t like this feeling that someone is being a threat to that relationship. I didn’t really want a long argument over it, and I didn’t want to waste her time or mine. So I decided to just send her a text message telling her to stop calling and texting JC because we just want a little quiet in our lives. She texted me that she wanted to talk. I have had enough of this talk, because I already tried talking to her last year but we ended up fighting because she told me she won’t give up on JC. I didn’t want or need any more stress in my life, so I told her there is really no need to talk and all I want is for her to just move on with her life so we can move on with ours. She insisted on calling me, so I told her OK. She apologized for everything, and she explained that the only reason she was calling is to ask how things are with JC. She explained that there is nothing going on, and that in fact, she already likes someone else. She told me she’s friends with almost all her other ex bfs, and that JC is no different. Well, I’m friends with most of my exes too, in fact, I have constant communication with some of them through text or Facebook, so I understood what she meant. Well, I told myself it’s time to forgive and forget. Holding a grudge against someone is not good for anyone, and the only way to be able to completely move forward is by learning to forgive the things they did, and forgetting the past.

I AM HAPPY. I no longer have this nagging feeling at the back of my head, and I no longer feel that there is a threat in our relationship. I AM FREE. I no longer have to think of ways to get back at her, and this is a wonderful feeling of freedom.

We might have coffee together one of these days.. Oh joy. (That is not being sarcastic.)

Again, I thank the Lord for giving me a chance to move forward, and for finally giving me the peace of mind that I so badly need. And I also ask the Lord for forgiveness, for thinking of several nasty plans to get revenge, which really isn’t good at all.
